[SOLVED] SLES 10 SP2 Installation Questions

Hi to All.

This is my first post :-)

I have been reading forums, wiki and documentation, also have been searching the SLES novell forums for something related and found nothing.

We have a SLES 10 sp2 x86 server up and running with OpenLdap, postfix, samba and cyrus imap. Tis server is our main server providing file services, autentification, and imap mail (we use egroupware and thunderbird as main email clients).

I want to try zimbra as the email part is far better than the egroupware one, but I don't know if there will be any coexistence problem with our current setup

As said above we use users in ldap and imap mail for this ldap users (no virtual domain), our ldap schema is something like

Could we setup zimbra in paralell to test it, or we must replace our setup with the zimbra one?

You can't separate the component parts of Zimbra, it's a complete Collaboration Suite and all the parts of Zimbra must be installed. You can authenticate against your current LDAP (but you must also install the Zimbra LDAP and provision users in it) so you will have conflicts, Zimbra needs to be installed on it's own server.

So In order to make a change like mine, is best to setup a new server. Then migrate the mailboxes.
